THE DESIGN PROCESS (cont.)

katmalinowska: jus topened!
shit
topened
what a dunce i am
so i think they’re real nice
my only concern is
the designs seem kinda faux retro?

like in a style i’ve seen before
whereas your previous 2 were v. original
shit

i think people would still really like these, though
but do you get what i’m saying?
the line thru it
its 70s
i think its def the numbers
reminds me of a bustedtee

me: Daaaaaaaaaang.
I guess I’m thinking the 24 sort of gives away the joke.

katmalinowska: hmm
maybe i’m being too hard on these

me: Like you know “The Life Aquatic” kinda sucks, and it sucks on its own terms? Like, it looks and feels like a Wes Anderson movie, but it sucks, and in doing so you start to see through the mechanics of his other movies, and suddenly they start to suck too.

katmalinowska: i absolutely agree
i didnt really like him after that
but i liked him so much before it
yeah, i think we’re on the same page here

me: Well shit, dude. How can we turn this page?

Two more designs coming.
